Well it was fun while it lasted.

It's been over 24 hours and I have no solution to the fact that my itunes will not recognize my iphone. I've spent probably 10 hours out of the last 24 trying to come up with a solution, and I can't figure it out.

I activated the phone on someone else's computer and it seems to work on everyone else's except mine. Either my USB ports are not working correctly or not compatible. Either way I can't spend any more time with the phone. I'm going to be busy with work for the next 2 or so weeks working everyday and am not going to have the time to spend on this, or the money to buy a new computer.

It's just really a shame, because I'm really liking this phone. The interface is incredible, and it's easy to use. There are some things missing, but for the most part it's lived up to the hype for me. It also sucks because it looks like the process for activating and using this device is really easy, and my piece of shit computer isn't complying. I had to set this up on a computer that is 4 years older than the one I have. Unless I can figure something out by tomorrow, I'm SOL.

My iphone experience will last all of 36 or so hours. I'll pay the 10% and move on. The phone goes back tomorrow.

i feel sooo sorry for you
but cant you just use your old cell phone for another two weeks?
i dont see why you would bite the bullet 24 hours in and give up on the best phone on the market

i hope you find a solution

You using 64-Bit Vista or 64-bit XP? The iPhone does not work with either one of those.

[iphonenotify]

did you update iTunes to 7.3. Because you need that to use your iPhone

If you are using a Mac you have to be on version 10.4 Tiger not Panther or older stuff. Take your phone and computer to an Apple Store (if you have a laptop) and let a Mac Genius help you out. Don't give up so easily, this is the best device I have ever put my hands on.

yea, i think so too. It is simply amazing. I dont know about you guys, but when I use edge it is about half as fast as wifi. How did they get it to be so fast? I remember when I had my sidekick the edge was so slow. I can not emphasize how fast it is.

if you dont know about it you probably dont have it. It is a kind of operating system, that is faster for editing huge pictures and stuff.

You have Service pack 2 for XP? if not, that's probably causing a lot of your problems. Nothing works without SP2.
